Chapter 075 (1/2)

Ronald Goldberg just showed his intention on the phone, but he didn't make a final decision. In order to avoid another tug of war at noon, or even another stalemate, Simon simply refused the other party's lunch invitation, just let Jonathan Friedman attend instead of himself.

Agents often act as a buffer between filmmakers and studios.

Towards noon, Jonathan rushed to deal with Ronald Goldberg's invitation. Simon borrowed a car from wma and went back to the villa in Montana with a bunch of paparazzi.

In front of the villa, there are also paparazzi.

Simon drove his car into the parking space in front of the villa. After getting off the car, he was still worried about whether the paparazzi would rush up. Fortunately, these people just stood on the road outside the villa lawn and took crazy photos. Some people tried to communicate with him, which naturally failed.

Taking out the key to open the door, Simon listened to the dense click behind him and decided to change his residence as soon as possible. In the United States, this kind of open community and the layout of the front house and backyard are very difficult to make him feel safe. If he continues to live here, he will not even have any privacy.

After entering the living room and putting down the suitcase, Simon immediately noticed that the message light of the telephone was flashing.

I went over to have a look, and the message was full.

Press play, Orion film president Mike medova's voice will come out, no business, just a few casual greetings, hoping Simon can call him back when he gets home. The second call was from Ron McMillan. Ron congratulated on the recent box office of ”Lola Run” and asked Simon if he was free recently. The people who took part in the shooting of ”Lola Run” wanted to hold a party to celebrate the sale of the film.

Simon had to go to Malibu's side. After listening to two messages, he realized that the next phone call would not be too important, so he let it play automatically, pulled up his suitcase and turned to the study.

The villa didn't even have a family security system installed, and Simon didn't plan to come back to live next, so he planned to take away all the important things this time.

The clothes in the suitcase were vacated, and the manuscripts, notes and newspaper clippings accumulated for more than half a year were carefully packed in. After confirming that there was no omission, Simon took the suitcase and went back to the living room. In the telephone, Sandra happened to be fighting for the R grade of Lola Run.

Simon was in Arizona when the classification of ”Lola Run” was confirmed. After hearing the news, he was very depressed for a while, but now he was relieved.

After all, film is a business. Business competition is never peaceful. Since Simon had rejected the big seven and chose Orion, he should be ready to be pitied.

What's more.

After the pit, we have to continue to talk business.

This is the way of the world.

Leaving Montana, Simon continues to ignore the paparazzi and drives to Malibu.

Arriving at Janet's mansion near the marlibudume Park, Simon saw ten paparazzi on the side of the road, which was not spacious. The paparazzi who came with Simon were cheering after him. All of them just parked their cars in public parking outside the community.

At present, parking is forbidden on this community asphalt road.

Simon also wanted to ask someone to tow the paparazzi's car if they came after him. Judging from the situation, he underestimated these guys who are obviously ”experienced in many battles”.

Before the paparazzi get close behind him, he comes to the front door of Janet's mansion. Simon gets out of the car quickly, pushes past the paparazzi who have been surrounded by him with the sound of a dense shutter, and presses the phone button several times. Without waiting for Janet's response, he returns to the car again, puts on his sunglasses, and lets the paparazzi around him put their cameras on the front window of the car for a while.

Inside the mansion.

Janet, dressed in a very home-based T-shirt and jeans, was holding a big bowl and stirring her voice and flirting to the phone, which was clasped in her neck: ”Mom, I know, I'm not a child How can this work Anyway, don't let Anthony and them come here, don't let dad come here, and don't let iceberg come here. You don't want me to find a boyfriend and break up soon Ha ha, it's been years since I didn't call her iceberg Oh, the doorbell rings. It must be Simon. I'm going to open the door. That's it Bye, love you

So quickly, Janet put down her bowl, dropped the microphone and ran out of the villa.

Outside the mansion.

The black sliding iron door slowly opened, Simon still ignored the paparazzi who had even blocked the front of the car, stepped on the accelerator slightly, and moved slowly into the yard. The paparazzi insisted that as the car retreated to the door, Simon's speed was still slow and steady, and he didn't worry about hitting people, so he had to retreat.

The car entered the yard and the closed iron door closed again.

Simon got out of the car and glanced at the whole row above the iron gate. He raised it to the blind camera in the yard. While taking off his luggage from the car, he said to Janet, who was hiding in the dead corner of the shooting: ”the gate is good. It's stronger than the fence gate. If it can be higher, it's perfect.”Janet said with a smile, ”I'll call the workers to change the gate.”

Simon shook his head and said, ”forget it. It's just right now. It's ugly when it's raised.”

With that, Simon took a stack of files he had brought back from wma, pulled the suitcase and hid where Janet was standing. Janet reached for the stack of files and they went to the villa.

As soon as she entered the villa, Janet raised her chin slightly, motioned around and said, ”how's it going here?”

Simon looked at the simple decoration of the warm color in the villa, listened to the sound of the waves coming from the terrace, nodded and said, ”good. I don't want to go now.”

”Ha ha,” said Janet, putting a stack of papers on the coffee table with a smile, ”then you should marry me. Half of them will be yours by then.”

Simon looked up and down at Janet and said, ”only half?”

”Well,” Janet said softly as she hugged Simon, ”it's all yours, even me.”

Simon bowed his head and pecked at the woman's lips, saying, ”help me find a study first. I'll probably have to live here before I find a house. Just can also accompany you, a lot of paparazzi stay outside, I'm not at ease

Janet let Simon go and took him to another room, but she was dissatisfied and said, ”why do you want to find a house? Isn't it good to live here?”

Simon shook his head and said, ”I'm not used to it.”

Janet said, ”well, male chauvinism.”

”It has nothing to do with doctrines. Lions don't live in other people's territory. How can you understand a kitten

”Well, well, I'm a kitten,” said Janet, in a tone that didn't bother to argue with Simon. She took him to a room near the sea and said, ”here, what's up?”

Simon looked at it. It was a very spacious study. On the east side is a bookshelf with a whole wall, on which all kinds of handicrafts are placed. Next to the bookshelf is a wide desk. On the south side is a French window leading to the terrace, on which a set of sofa can enjoy sunbathing.

”Not bad, just one more phone.”

”Yes,” Janet pointed to the cabinet under the bookshelf and said, ”look for it. It's in the cabinet. There's a telephone interface here. You can use it when you install it.”

”That's OK,” Simon nodded, put the suitcase aside and said, ”are you ready for lunch?”
